Survivor Voices and Experiences

We recognize that survivor voices are vital to create effective systemic change. While every situation is different, we want to ensure that your public speaking opportunity is as safe and informative as possible. If you are in current litigation, please consult with your attorney before speaking publicly; however, we at ODVN recommend that survivors with an open court case not share their story publicly as there could be unintended negative consequences for you or your children. For more information on public speaking and testifying, please review this guide.

 

In order to protect you and your children, we encourage you to submit your story via our portal below. We will remove identifying information and keep you anonymous if we use your story to educate and inform decision-makers. By submitting your story via this portal, you are giving the Ohio Domestic Violence Network permission to redact identifying information and use your story in testimony, fact sheets, and other public awareness campaigns. Thank you for sharing your lived experience with us.
